Mercure holds back the years

After the facelift The Orbis group, which is the owner and exclusive licence holder of the brand in Central and Eastern Europe based on an agreement signed with Accor, has been investing in the rebranding of its facilities for some time. One of its main activities in this field is the renovation of older hotels and standardising them under one of its brands. Posejdon was built in 1976 on ul. Kapliczna in Gdańsk, close to the shoreline. “We have renovated the rooms, the corridors, the lobby, the conference rooms, the breakfast section and the restaurant. After the modernisation, which has taken three months (February–May 2015) the hotel is now categorised as a three-star facility,” explains Stanisław Wilgocki, the director of the hotel. Mercure Posejdon offers 151 rooms, a fitness and wellness centre including a covered swimming-pool with illuminations, a steam sauna, a Finnish sauna and a gym as well as cosmetics and massage services laid on by external companies.
